[Spellyans] KK ha'n SWF - pronunciation

[Craig Weatherhill]

I retain the same opinion I had 20 years ago.  KK has several graphs 
introduced into Cornish by Ken George (or more accurately, his computer) 
that never occurred in historical written Cornish and these became 
hailed as Cornish when they are not.  Computerised and unproven theories 
produced by one man and a machine cannot be defined as Cornish unless 
there is firm historical precedence.  Don't forget, after more than 
twenty years, Ken has never allowed his data-base to be released for 
public scrutiny.

But, if well publicised and continuously insisted upon, then people will 
accept it.  This is why some Cornish people refer to Cornwall as a 
"county" (which, legally, it is not) - because the word is incessantly 
used by the media -, or accept signs saying "English Heritage" beside 
sites and monuments that have nothing whatever to do with the English 
peoples.  Tell a lie often enough and it gets to be believed.

Unfortunately, the SWF main form retains some of these non-Cornish 
graphs.  I will never be using the main form and certainly will not 
teach it.  I will teach, use and write only what is demonstrably Cornish.
